Spicy Tofu Scramble

I often have people asking me ideas for savory breakfast recipes. Many times vegan breakfasts can consist of smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt and fruit, granola, etc.. which can all trend to being somewhat sweet. So for all of you who are craving a savory, plant-based breakfast with tons of protein and not so many calories- keep reading!

One cup of this scramble only has 215 calories but has 19 (yup- NINETEEN) grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber. Once again addressing the whole “protein myth” on a vegan diet. Prep time of this recipe is no more than 10 minutes and cooking takes no more than 15. The best part is that you have so many options to use the scramble- you can put it in a taco, wrap it in a burrito, put it on top of toast with some avocado, or just eat it plain.

For me, giving up eggs and cheese were two of the hardest parts of going completely plant-based. THIS fills that void like you wouldn’t believe. The turmeric gives it it’s yellow color, the nutritional-yeast gives a cheese-y flavor, and the tofu has an egg-y texture. I have to say I am continually impressed with this recipe because it’s so filling, nutritionally dense, and leaves you with a very savory, cheesy, egg-y meal. PLUS there’s so much room to adapt it to your own taste. You can throw in as many veggies as you’d like, leave out any ingredients you don’t, and it will have an amazing taste any way.
